What were three useful points that Zeldman provided that “ring true” to you and how can they help you? Try to relate the article to yourself personally.

• As a designer your job is not only to create great designs but to sell a solution to your clients.
• Designers must sell so if your selling (persuasion) skills are not your strong point, it would be a good idea to participate in a workshop to brush up on those skills.
• -If you’re not a good salesperson, find a partner who is. Designers who can’t sell, sell themselves short by undercharging for their services.

Do you think you and Zeldman are “on the same page” completely or do you think differently about this topic in some ways? Explain what makes you think you feel the same and also where you might differ. I agree with what he says, “A decent designer who can sell will have a better career—and do better work—than a brilliant designer who cannot.” I wise salesman told me once, what the point of having a cool package, if you can’t sell what it’s in it.
